During one of my "breaks" in my daily activities playing Fashion Designer....I came across an old friend who I haven't talked to in years. As it turns out, with "like attracting like" and my being a musician at heart, I was delighted to find him successfully living out his musical talents in a most delightful way! I would like to share with you, a song from my friend John Cate along with his band.  I am going to be singing this song ALL DAY, in my head!  I love it, John!  <3

                                                   Shop for leather brooches & corsages

Using antique glass or rhinestone buttons, combined with leather that is hand sculpted to ruffle into "petals", these rose pins,cuffs and rings have become one of my best loved lines this fall. Seasonless for wear through Fall, Winter, Spring or Summer. Pin these brooches on your purse, scarf ,shawl, headband or blouse for an instant  finishing touch to whatever you're wearing. Available at www.manobello.com .

Most popular purse is a clutch!

I designed this bag for myself. I am a long time "shoulder bag" wearer....the bigger, the better.

I wanted something smaller for those runs to the store, or for when I'm going to the barn for a ride on my horse and I don't need all of my tech-y stuff or all of my makeup, or that book to read while I wait for whatever......just something for my wallet, chapstick, keys, list and sunglasses for a trip out and back.

I can just grab this bag, tuck it under my arm, or hold it with 1 hand.....

These have been flying out of the shop to my delight & surprise. It seems I am spending all of my time right now trying to make more of these instead of working on more designs.
Being a creative being, the monotony of simulating the same thing over and over again can be just that....monotony. Pacing myself is something I need to conform to...allowing time for production AND for creating. After all, I am creating products so that I can sell them and support my family.
So...be forewarned.....if you would like to be on the list for one of these soft leather bags....there may be a slight wait of 1-2 weeks.
